Suzuki XL-7 Prices Paid and Buying Experience

Comments

I also test drove sorento and must admit it wasnt to bad,but it just doesent compare to the suzuki xl-7.Here is what you get with afully loaded suzuki that you wont get with a kia,third row seating,a car that is fully made in and assembled in japan, a five speed automatic transmission,much better gas milage especially on the highway plus any other options that kia may offer. NOW FOR THE KICKER a fully loaded suzuki (in the upstate new york area)is 22,800 before taxs.OH YEAH AND ITS ACTUALY A MUCH SMOOTHER DRIVING VICHLE.With this said im not actually a suzuki employee.

My wife received a promotional letter from the local Suzuki dealer with a key. If that key started a new XL-7 in the showroom the lucky winner would get free use of it for one year. Second prize was $3000 down payment assistance. At the time I was driving a 2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser on which my warranty had just expired and my brakes just failed. I limped the PT down to the dealer and although the key we received didn't fit we did win second prize. I was offered a very generous trade allowance for my PT against a fully loaded 2004 XL-7 LX 4X4 in Cosmic Blue, and the monthly payment was LESS than my PT. I received further discounts from the dealer for the Suzy being a leftover '04 and for the spare tire cover, which the lot boy cracked when he backed the car into a pole. The book value on my trade-in was about what I owed on it, so with the down payment assistance I ended up financing $17K. Overall I've been very happy with my XL-7. The mileage really sucked when I first started driving it but it's getting better. It's a much more comfortable truck to drive than my wife's Jeep Liberty. 13,000 miles later it's still working fine except for a glitch with the CD player.

I bought mine in 04 a factory program car 4x4 and it has been very good for 46000 miles so far. the buying experience was quite good as it was the second car i bought from Diamond Suzuki in florida. The service manager there treats people right with no hassels. The cars only problems were the rear window washer and a premiture failer of the entry key. not bad for a car that i paid 16,900 for less than a year old.

I JUST GOT ON HERE, A FRIEND OF MINE GOT ME ON THIS TO SHOP FOR A CAR. I LIVE IN GETTYSBURG PA AND LIKE TO HAVE A FEW CARS. WELL I READ ALOT ABOUT THE FITZGERALD AUTOMALL. WOW THERE IS ONE 3O MILES FROM ME. I CONTACTED THEM ON THERE WEB PAGE AND SOME ONE FROM THERE RT.85 SUPERSTORE I THINK IS WHAT IT IS CALLED. THEY WERE RIGHT ON IT CALLING ME BACK. THEY BOUGHT ME IN AND ABOUT 2HRS LATER I NOW OWN A NEW XL7. THANK YOU FOR TURING ME ON IT FITZGERLADS.. THANKS. JUST GOOGLE FITZGERALD AUTOMALL

You're probably right. I live in Illinois where we're required to pay full sales tax on the entire purchase price (Cap Cost) and not on the difference (Cap Cost - Residual); neither a percentage of monthly payment. Unless you have a business tax deduction, it does not make much sense to lease in Illinois.

I bought a 2007 Suzuki XL7 Luxury AWD with Sunroof on Oct. 30 for my wife, from Prestige Suzuki in Asheville NC. I got if for $22,900 - $1,000 Owners loyalty - Trade in. Thats around $4,700 under MSRP not including the owners loyalty plus they gave me a bit more than KBB value for my trade. To follow the forum rules I cant post the salesman name but if someone wants it, let me know. I have a dealer 10 minutes away from me and I prefered to do business with Prestige wich although is 5 hours away they delivered and took the trade in. My wife loves her new XL7, powerful engine, nice comfy leather seats, sunroof, AWD and all the safety features it includes plus the 7yr/100k warranty. I want to thank all the automotive reporter that negatively criticized this vehicle, without them I would have never gotten it at this price. I paid $22,500 for my base Explorer 11 years ago!!! I am a car enthusiast and I really recomend this SUV for the money.Edit: I financed with my credit union, no weird balloon financing contracts here.

You forgot to add the Sunroof which is an $800 option.It is a Luxury 5 seat AWD WITH Sunroof.I do have a copy of the invoice and the window sticker but they are at home.

It still $26,849 + 800 = 27,649 - 21,900 = 5,749 (3,500 in rebates and $2,249 discount)+ 169 paperwork$4,669 below invoice.I am not including the paperwork as part of the MSRP, if you do, you will have to add it to the $27,649.

Sir, I bought a 2007, and in 2007 the sunroof was optional for the luxury model, standard for the 2008. In the Suzukiauto.com go to vehicles and 2007 Models to confirm this. Also in the Edmunds website you can clearly see for the 2007 that the sunroof is optional. See link:

MSRP was $24599 USD (excludes destination and handling - $25249 with it)I paid $20031.95, that's over $5000 off. Which included year-end rebates, owner loyalty rebate and dealer discounts (tax, title and DVM fees were separate).And the dealership paid off the balance of my 2006 Grand Vitara (I had the vibration problem with mine and premature tire wear. ASMC didn't do anything meaningful - the dealer/sales manager stepped up to the plate and delivered). I'll be posting a separate message regarding my fuel economy in the Real World MPG Forum.Regards,Dave
